SAG Awards Nominations Event Canceled Amid Wildfires

The Screen Actors Guild Awards have canceled their live nominations announcement originally set for January 8 due to severe wildfires in Los Angeles, where over 30,000 residents are under evacuation orders. Nominations will now be revealed via press release and on the SAG Awards website at 7:30am PT. The decision was made for the safety of presenters and guests, as adverse wind conditions and rapidly spreading fires threaten numerous celebrity homes, including those of Tom Hanks and Reese Witherspoon. The Pacific Palisades fire has already consumed more than 2,900 acres, prompting California Governor Gavin Newsom to declare a state of emergency. The SAG Awards ceremony is still scheduled to take place on February 23, hosted by Kristen Bell, with Jane Fonda set to receive the SAG Life Achievement Award.
